All of my December sleevers...

[MsBatty 8]

Surgery 12/28.... Down 20 lbs, now stalled. I was pretty frustrated since I lost that weight in the 1st 10 days, and nothing since! But at least it's 20 lbs less!

Sleeved 12/3. Starting weight 224. Surgery weight 206. Now at 184' date=' so down 22 pounds in 6 weeks. Doesn't compare to what others have lost in a shorter period but I am trying to focus on not just the scale but how my clothes feel, etc. surgery day BMI was 37.[/quote']

I was sleeved 12/5. As of today I've lost 22 lbs, too. We're neck and neck! LOL

I was sleeve on 12/17 and I'm down 34 lbs. I weighted 252 and today I weight 218. I have been walking everyday and going to Curves 4 times a week. I record everything I eat and the hardest thing is getting all my Water in.

Sleeved 12/18/2012 - down 46 pounds

How have you done it!?!?!?! I've only lost 19 lbs and 39 inches?

[Kaylee 13]

Has anyone GAINED weight during their stall :S ?!

Kaylee I have gained and lost the same three pounds for three weeks! Now I'm back down to 207.6, but I realize it has been my food choices, lack of Protein, and not getting all my fluids in. Today I only drank Protein Shakes. I know it's not a long term solution, but for right now I feel I have to go back to basics.

Are you talking 1 or 2 lbs or 10? I bounced up and down by 2 lbs for several days. But if you've gained a lot, call your doctor.

My doc never said anything against straws... so I've used them since I got home from the hospital... I am almost 6 weeks out...

I think that's my problem too, I haven't been taking in as much protein as I need to, I eat poorly and try to justify it cause I'm eating "less", and I definitely do NOT get in enough fluids... lately I'd be lucky to get a whole bottle of Water down. More used to chugging a drink a few times a day than sipping all day. Same thing with food! Ive had the surgery but now I need to make the life change too! I think I will go back to the shakes tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!

No it's only a few pounds, it bounces up and down over the same 4 or so. Glad to know that I'm not alone here!

Sleeved dec 27 now down 25lbs. And I also hit a stall early. So I went back to the basics. broth and Protein Shakes. Lost 5 next time on the scale!

[DisneyBill 10]

Sleeved on 12/3 and as of this morning, I'm down 66 pounds. I lost a big chunk of it early but then hit a stall for a week or so. Just be patient and don't lose faith, and you will come out of it and the weight will start coming off again!
